Personnel disinfection systems

Why it is needed

The biosecurity of a facility is only as strong as its weakest link. A significant share of operations that control vehicle access do not treat staff access with the same rigour, yet disease agents travel most readily on shoe soles, work clothing and hands.

A personnel disinfection system closes that gap by treating all three carriers as each person enters. At poultry farms, breeding operations and food production plants it is usually not a preference but part of the operating procedure.

How it works

The system sits on the staff access route and operates automatically. As a person enters the unit, their hands, clothing and footwear are disinfected; once the cycle completes they pass into the facility.

A dosing pump keeps the disinfectant mixed at a fixed ratio. Control and timing settings are made through a PLC-controlled touchscreen, exactly as on the vehicle tunnel.

The chemical used is selected according to the risk profile of the facility and the advice of its veterinarian. Our responsibility is to make sure the chosen chemical is applied at the right ratio and distributed evenly.

Used together with a vehicle tunnel

At facilities that also have vehicle access we install both systems together, and the automation cabin is shared; both are managed from one panel.

In that arrangement the passage runs as follows:

1. The vehicle enters the tunnel, the fast door at the exit closes and it stops.
2. The driver gets out and passes through the service door into the personnel disinfection unit.
3. Personnel disinfection completes.
4. The vehicle disinfection system then starts automatically and the tunnel fills with fog.
5. When the cycle ends the door opens, the driver gets back in and enters the site.

For the detail, see the vehicle disinfection tunnel page.

Where it is installed

• Poultry farms and hatcheries
• Cattle and sheep operations, breeding facilities
• Feed mills
• Food production and packing plants
• Any other production facility wanting staff access brought under control

Installation and handover

We manufacture and install the system. What needs to be prepared on the client's side is the groundwork and bringing electricity and water to the location. The lead time for your project is stated in the quotation following the survey.

We are based in Ankara and install across Türkiye. Tell us about your staff entrance and the daily volume of people passing through it and we will prepare a quotation. Call 0507 492 02 04 or use the contact form.
